Fire Stotts Eventually

[wizenheimer]

what great is that with Zach and Nurkic out, and Hood looking like he's done, we can recycle all of the injury excuses from last season. No need to generate new excuses

Pissing away Dames prime.

Let me preface this by saying I would prefer that the team do a thorough search and look for new talent for a coach. But a familiar name I would take a hard look at would be Jeff Van Gundy. His teams ALWAYS play defense. With the Knicks and Rockets, the lowest his teams have ranked in defensive rating is 6th. I think he has the clout and stature to immediately hold guys accountable. He could probably improve the offense too but clearly the improvement needs to be defensively.

Reading this and I thought back to our projected lineup for the 2019-20 season and 3/5ths of those players (Nurk, Zach, Hood) are either injured or recovering from a major injury. That's wild to me ... that's really hard to overcome.

Look on the bright side, with Nurk sidelined, Kanter/Melo is probably something in the past...

Stotts will find a way to keep them together

can't break up Laurel & Hardy

We have no system..we just have enough talent to make the playoffs every year regardless..Terry knows this and knows how to play to Neil and Jody..he's a con man

I just can't get behind this. Neil is the conman or at least a snake oil salesman (meaning he might believe his own con) but Stotts isn't selling anything. The guy is just incompetent. I really think the excuses come from Neil and flow down from there.

Pissing away Dames prime.

This isn't an opinion, it's just a fact. I would like your post but I just don't like this fact but obviously who could disagree.

At what point do you just walk out the door?

I mean you have had 8 years and the team seems to have hit the bottom for you last 1 year and a half. You are paid millions and yet you can't do shit with your coaching as if we have a puppet on the bench. You have failed miserably to fix the well known issues. There is no ego?

Because if he went somewhere else he would most assuredly not do well and get canned immediately.

So he's going to continue to let Dame carry his sorry ass.

If Stotts were fired, I can't imagine a rush of any decent teams coming for the Ter Bear

 

[Pinwheel1]

I still like Trent a lot but it seems clear to me that he will never be better than CJ.
Hood looked better than Trent today. Not bad for a guy some wanted to bury on the bench.
He is working himself back into shape.

How much would it cost to put up a billboard?

 

[Wizard Mentor]

Serious Question:
If Tom Thibodeau magically became our coach today, how much PT would Kanter and Melo get?
Would Melo survive the deadline?

I think a bigger question would be, how soon before Damian would want him fired?

Not unless Damian gets tired of winning.

...and you're missing or ignoring the point: a good defensive coach wouldn't play Melo or Kanter much at all.

oh, no I got your point. I'm not sure Thibs would be a winner. He has a reputation of burning his team out quickly, and I'm not so sure he's a winner.

His winning in chicago came at a big cost too.

I think Thibs would be a disaster because he has a deserved reputation of grinding his best players into the floor. Dame would average 40 minutes under Thibs

 

[Terry Stotts]

This is by far the most talented roster I've ever coached. But fuck if I know what to do with these guys. I figure I'd just tell RoCo and JRR to watch tape of what Aminu and Harkless did. They're both WAY better players, so we should be a WAY better team, right?

Nothing is clear with this coach. I wish this team would get a fresh perspective to see how these players could do under a real coach with a real plan.

 

[Lanny]

Like right now and when they were in the bubble? And when they were playing in the playoffs first round against OKC? And the multiple winning streaks they had that year before Nurk went down? And .... You get the idea right?

There are so many great coaches right here in S2 that I'm amazed none are earning the big bucks someplace.

 

[Hoopguru]

How do you think the lady in the big chair measures Neil's performance? Do you think she delegates/deledumps that to someone else?

Well, I know that I am holding out for an offer to be a GM, so that might explain it in my case.

 

[Chris Craig]

Stotts just got another free year

 

[wizenheimer]

focusing on Stotts being fired is focusing on the wrong vacancy

seasons will keep going bad as long as the same GM is in place

 

[OneSport3]

Stotts is the 4th longest tenured coach in the league. The 3 ahead of him: Popovich, Spoelstra and Carlisle. All 3 have championships.

It’s time. It’s time.

We allowed the worst 3pt shooting team to hit 45% of their shots from downtown tonight. Notice how every team "just gets hot" or it "just becomes their night" when they play the Blazers?

Darius Bazley shooting 28% on the season, 3/6 tonight.

 

[Natebishop3]

Look what Thibs did with an absolute joke of a roster in New York and then look what Terry has done with our roster. We have some really good defenders and we still suck.

 

[calvin natt]

I’m probably 90% certain Stotts will be allowed to ride out this season and that’ll be it. And I can NOT wait just simply because I won’t have to read about it anymore.
